Tho leading men of tho It kite, outside of Philadelphia, ore nearly Unanimous for tho now Constitution. It only tho corrupt Republican ring in Philadelphia that oppose tho instrument with anything liko formidable strength. They are making a desperate offort to de feat it. A Hurricank.—Knorvilic. East Ten nessee, had a young hurricane early Thursday morning, which blew down ono of the walls of tho 2nd Mothodist Episco pal church and modo rags, splinters and Utters of signs and awnings; an empty box car was also blown upon tho main tract of tho railroad from a siding, and was run into by a froight train with dam age to both.

There was not a morsel of food in the house, and tho wife and her little ones were weak from absolute starvation. Tho wife states that her husband was a good mechanic, a man of orderly habits and that, if he had committed a crime, it was to save hia family. They had been married seven years, and during that time her husband had been uniformly kind, and had never done anything to throw a shade of suspicion upon his in tegrity. llo was held to bail. Tux SrrxRSATURAL.—'The Now York papers, reporting tho Ville da Havre catastrophe, say that a French gentle man living in Brooklyn, who had a wife tnd daughter oil board the ill-fated ship, land lost th*» former, stated that he had [been forewarned of the misfortune, for rhite sitting in his house, thinking of the ^ ^absent ones, ho bod distinctly seen a helio trope in a vaso of flowers moved without any visible cau»e, shsrtly after the time the collision occurred. On Tuesday hut a young officer of the Now York police. Burns, while escorting two negro prisoners to the lock up, who, with others, had been engaged in a row in ft negro drinking saloon, was assaulted by one of his captives and struck on the back of the head with a round etono which the prisoner hod been iu the habit of car rying in his 'pocket. The officers skull was fractured, anil ho died as soon as he reached his own door. He had a young wife ami child, and the former was found in terrible distress, claiming to have been forewarned of tho trouble, by hearing throe distinct blows near her bed, at the precise t * tho fatal blow vere inflicted upon her husband's head.** Thk following explanation is given of tha origin of the word “filibuster. ” The river Yly, in Holland, is said to have fur nished the name ttfbooi in English—in Spanish, fidoU—to a sort of small fast sailing vessel of about one hundred tons burdeu.which in the seventeenth century were held in high estimation, on account of their fast sailing qualities. The buc caneers of the West Indies, who began their depredations on Spanish commerce -boats, as they acquired the leans of a more formidable outfit selec t'd these craft as best suited to their pur- llenoe they became known in Preach as jiWust*rs, and in Spanish os r *. on appellation gradually exten- those languages to any kind of pirate*. By a still more extended moan ag in the United States this term has ume to be applied to designate any mil- j fitorr enterprise set on foot and prosecuted [against the government of any State or where no war exists, by mere ventures seeking to overthrow such eminent, and destroy the domestic itutioas of its people for the enrich- it of th* adventurers themselves Assumption of State Debts. One Morey, of the Radical delegation from Louisiana, introduced into the House of Representatives last Thursday & bill to strengthen •* the credit of the reconstructed States and to afford them financial relief.** This bill provides for the iK&ue of United States bonds in ex change for State bond* on the basis of the exchange of a United States four per cent, bond for a State seven per cent, bond. The amount <5f the State bonds to be taken in exchange to l>e equal to the amount of bonds issued by each State prior to December 31st, 1873, provided the amount doe* not exceed ten per cent, of th** a**« «*sed value of the property of the State for tho year 1873. In case the debt of any Sta*-- .-x.•.—*!■> that amount it shall first be reduced within that amount. At the end of five years from the issue of the bonds by the United Stales, the States shall begin to pay eight per cent, per annum of the amount of the bonds issued for such State indobtodedness by the United States, and shall so continue to do until the amount received shall re imburse the United State* for money paid on account of such State, to be ap plies!, first, to pay the current interest; second, to pay tho back interest; third, to provide a winking fund for the redemp tion of tho bond*. The President is to appoint five commissioners to carry out the provisions of the bill, and the State are to adopt constitutional amendments accepting all the provisions of the bill, and declaring that no increase of the debt of the State shall be made, without the consent of Congress, until the bonds shall be entirely paid. Morey, no doubt, will have a powerful lobby influence behind him in backing this bill. All the bankrupt an i swindling speculators on tho “faith” of the negro State*, anxious to exchange their bogus and fraudulent bonds for United States paper, will be constantly on hand with every device to push this bill “for strengthening the credit** of States in tho condition of most of tho (so-called) “reconstructed.” But the greatest misfortune, in tills con noction, which can happen to States gov erned by negroes either as tho mere cat’s paw of unscrupulous white political spec ulators, or aa thieves on their own ac count, would be the strengthening of the credit of these States. Then there would be a new lease to the work of plunder and devastation. The only hope, if there be any, for the tax-payers, lies in tho fact that the time has come, or is rapidly coming, when tbeso States can borrow nothing—when their obligations ore all utterly worthless and they must per forco run on what revenue they can collect. It is true these sable rulers have no personal interest, so far os tax-paying goes, to restrain their tax levies, but time will teach them that tax extortion cannot, profitably to themselves, bo car ried too far. And timo will consign all their floating obligations of debt to the gulf of oblivion, as so much utterly waste and hopeless paper. Morey's bill provides that there shall bo no addition to State indebtedness, but what will that provision amount to practically in restraining these ignorant and reckless negro legislatures. Im mense floating debts would soon bo piled up again on the strength of the strength ened credit, and tho tax-payers bo plunged as deeply as over into the sea of financial troubles. Thero is no othor hope for tho whites, but in’tho total inability of ihefco govern ments to float a dollar of debt in any shape—roducing them to a rigid cash system, so that theJStato cannot obtain a pound of flour, or a stick of wood, or a negro Legislature without the ready cosh. And to this solution it must come, do r hat tho U. S. Government may to rem edy tho miserable botch of reconstruc tion, which reposes the governing power in tho hands of people who oro alike des titute of knowledge and financial and moral responsibility. The governments are but a burlesque on tho Republican system, and must of necessity go to ruin from their own inherent viciousness. tAgency, though it be even tear, which will throw into circulation five hundred or a thousand millions of dollars, must act directly and advantageously to this section of the country. It matters not to us that this expan sion will cheapen the price of money and make a dollar worth less than at present as a purchasing medium. The effect will be to raise the price of gold and cot ton, increase the value of real estate, quicken trade, and stimulate production of every kind. This will afford the oppor tunity of those who are involved, to real ize on their property, at war prices, and get square again with the world. So it is an ill wind that blows good to no one, and once free from the thraldom of debt, let cash be the watchword for- ever more. Ly^ I* It Peace or War I—Drops of Com* fort In Anj Event. War has not inaptly boon termed tho Pandora'* box which lets loose every evil incident to our fallen condition. It ia tho consummation of all wrong*—the hand maid of despotism—tho parent of hydra- headed vice—the nursery of corruption— tho destruction of the Sabbxth—the dire ful cause of unutterable woe and misery to bereaved widows, sisters and parents. There is no curse to the land like nnto it. And however just the quarrel, how ever necessary the arbitrament of arms, tho consequences are none tho loss disas trous, even to tho Victor. For these reasons, we deprecate tho conflict which begins to appear probable, if not inevitable with Spain and Cuba. Not thnt tho blood-thirsty "volunteers” should escape punishment for their atrocities to unarmed prisoners. Tho lex (ulionis, might justify us in the speediest and most summary reprisals for tho massacre of tho crew of tho Vir- ginius. Bat will tho contest end at that point ? Not so. The subjugation and annexa tion of Cuba must follow, with tho long train of evils nnd complications which will ensue. Indeed, it may reasonably he feared that tho acquisition of that island will be tho entering wedgo for the disintegration of tho American Union. With tho tendency to despotism and centralization in tho Federal Government already too observable, the vast extension of Executive patronage and prerogative, growing out of this conquest, must hasten tho period when free people will be driven to assert their freedom and inalien able rights once moro. Or the Republic, so-called—or Empire, more properly— like those of ancient times, will fall to pieces by its own weight. But the TzLxe.Rxrit has already treated of the evils of annexation, and we now pro pose to show that if this ill-starred war is to bo thrust upon us, the South far the present at least will bo no great sufferer. It is a fact beyond question that owing to the emancipation of our slaves, the failure of Confederate currency and se curities, tfce oppression of the Federal Government, and the terrible bnrden of taxation, the Gulf States have been re duced almost to a hopeless state of debt and vassalage to capital. Who Is the Real Author of the Flan for the Construction of the Atlao tic and Great Western Canal ? We havo received a private letter from one of Georgia’s most trusty and illustri ous sons, taking exceptions to the state ment that Dr. Tomlinson Fort was the originator of the great scheme for the union of the Atlantic and Mississippi waters. The writer ascribes the honor to the great Troup, a man elanim el renera 6£Ze, while he disclaims any intention of plucking a single laurel from the brow of the worthy gentleman (now deceased) who is credited with the authorship of that enterprise. Himself a contemporary of Governor Troop, and connected with the State government as Assistant Secre tary of the Senate, every opportunity was afforded him to become posted in the premises This gentleman asserts that in the fall of 182-1, a bill was passed by the Legisla ture creating a "Board of Public Works.' The canal engineer appointed by the Governor, was a Scotchman named Ham ilton Fulton. Gov. Troup, ex-officio, Hon. Wilson Lnmpkin. Major Joel Crawford and James Hamilton Conper, Esq., were members of this board. "A survey, (we quote the language of our informant,) "was made by Fulton to determine the practicability and expense of the proposed canal. After this Mr- Fnlton was pat to making surveys for railroads. This I well remember from the astonishing recommendation of scran inclined planes with stationary power, for the short road from MiUedgeville to Ma con." -The idea of connecting by canal the East and West, spontaneously occurred to hundreds at tho same time, after Do Witt Clinton’s success in New York.' The writer goes on to remark that proper research among the archives of the State, would confirm Governor Troup’s claim to bo regarded as tho founder of the great project, which has brought together in council the Executives of distant States, and attracted so much attention generally. In accordance with this suggestion, we have hunted up and examined thi? files of the Georgia Messenger, published No vember 17,1824. In the issue of that date. Gov. Troup, in his message to tho General Assembly, makes tho following remarks: “As soon aa it was ascertained that Congress had passed on act authorizing tho President to procure tho necessary surveys, plans and estimates, for roads and canals, etc., I addressed a letter to the President, re questing that Georgia should be admit ted to a participation of any benefits or Oil vantages which might result to the Union from this act, and called his atten tion particularly to the importance of con necting the waters of tho Savannah with those of tho Tennessee, and the waters of tho St. Marys with those of the Suwance/ His answer, given through the Secretary of War, is, that tho Con gress had derived its power to pass the act from the provisions of the Constitu tion. which authorize it to regulate com merce between the different States, and which confide to it the defence of the country; and that no operations would bo attempted under it which would be confined exclusively to the limits and jn- risdietionof anyparticnlar State. Taking this for granted, so far from op posing obstacles to its execution, I thought it my duty to interpose our claim for that proportion of any good resulting from it, which might rightfully belong to Georgia.” This passage of history settles the qncstion effectually and finally. And if the great work of marrying tho waters of the Atlantic to the broad Mississippi ho ever completed, to that glorious patriot who boldly proclaimed in the face of Fed eral bayonets when the rights of Georgia were assailed " the argument is exhaust ed—let ns stand by onr arms, ” will the honor be due. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Pinchback. A Washington letter writer, in onr last, spokeof a sharp littlegamegoing onn ndcr the lead of Butler to seat Pinchback in the House in order to get rid of him in the Senate—he having, according to the Radical reconstructed government of Louisiana, a valid claim to a seat in both. Tho Picayune indulges in a short bio graphical notice of Pinchback in which there are some very interesting memo randa- Tho first one (which is sufficient) is taken from the records of the "work- house penitentiary,” New Orleans, as fol lows : "Mat 28,1SA2.—Pinckney Pinchback, 24 years old. 5 feet 0 inches high, black hair; occupation a laborer, intemperate habits; and under bead of remarks classed "smart,” committed under a con viction before Provost Judge J. M. Bell for larceny, and sentenced to the Peniten tiary for two years.” J. R. West, Pinchback’s colleague in the Senate, from Louisiana, said in a speech delivered before a Radical conven tion of Louisiana, on the 10th day of last month, " There is no man in Louisiana that I would offer a more cordial welcome to than Senator Pinchback.” West may be right in respect to himself and some other fellow members of the United States Senate. They may naturally fee! awkward in the presence of respectabl- Thi Stax say3 Mr. D. W. Patterson, of Griffin, suspended business on Wednes day. His liabilities are estimated at $60,000 and his assets at nearly that amount. The Star says "too mnch cred it” is the cause. We find this Atlanta item in the Gaines ville Eagle: Mr. Forlow, of Heard county, a few days ago, had three hundred and fifty dollars in currency, and a five hundred dollar cheek, taken from him by a gang of negroes and B. M. and Tutt Clower, sons of Mrs. Clower, who keeps a board ing house on Decatur street, Atlanta, Gs. We know a big doctor whe lost his pocket- book at Mrs. Clower's a year or two ago. The same piper is of opinion that if Gov. Smith "never performs an act more &t variance with the feelings of the peo ple of Georgia than his refusing to com mute the punishment of, or pardon Milton Malone, he could be Governor of the com monwealth for the remainder of his days. A few more "judicial murders," such as Malone’s was, will satisfy persons who persist in carrying pistols about them, that in Georgia they must be careful how they shoot.” The LaGrango Heporternote3 as a very strange fact that all the cattle that ore ever killed by railway trains are of the finest imported stock. Ordinary cattle are never killed on railroads: The Reporter says the "colored troops” of LaGrango have been greatly disturbed of late by this Cuban business: Gen eral G. T. Anderson, of Atlanta, better known as " Old Tige,” was in town, and some of "the boys” introduced him to two or three negroes as a general whom Grant had sent ont to raise a brigade of colored troops. This created considera ble excitement in the minds of some of that class, especially when Gen. Ander son told them to be ready next Saturday, as he had the names of all the Grant vo ters and would require them to start to Cuba at once. They protested that they didn’t vote for Grant; that they had never shot a gun or a pistol, and didn't know how to shoot even a pop gun. A sea gull was killed at Columbus on Friday. The theory is that it came up the river on the tail end of the late blow at Apalachicola. The Sun thinks Columbus will receive about 53,000 bales of cotton this year, against 53,000 last year. The figures show a decrease of 3,527 hales as com pared with same date last year. The stock on hand, however, is 10,657 bales, against 8,525 same date last year. The present Grand Jury of Muscogee county is on a furious rampage.

Mb. J. Edgab Thomson*, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who thirty ycara ago was the Chief Engineer of tho Georgia Railroad, is in Atlanta, which oily he laid ont and named. Four cases of small-pox aro reported in tho fourth ward, Atlanta, and the Board of Health have been called together to .discuss the situation. Frame Dumont, a member of Duprez & Benedict’s Minstrels, was fined $750 and costs in Fulton County Superior Court, for capturing a pocket-book and $400 from a man named Camp, at At lanta, a few days since. If he can’t raise the money, he goes on the board of public works for eight months. The Atlanta Constitution is informed that the Georgia railroad directors will declare tho regular semi-annual dividend next Tuesday. Shot and powder have taken an up ward turn in tho Columbus market, on account of large flocks of wild pigeons in tho eastern port of the county.

This Tlic New Sllb-Harinr Torpci Boat- Iron Clads anil Stone Fort’Plnycd Out.” An Annapolis correspondent tho New York Sun has lately witnessed e opera tions of a new sub-marino toido boat, the invention of Capt. Penn Cry, which is destined, if the correspondc’s state ments bo true, to work a totabvolution in naval warfare. The boat flcscribed as "a floating body” which ipcrfectly capable of destroying tho strgest iron clad that ever floated, witlpnustaining the slightest injury itself. Is not only sea-worthy in tho heaviest Ether, but can navigate tho ocean oithen tho sur face or underneath at thelensure of those on bo.'val. By a very mple pro cess this torpedo boat is cdy made to sink below tho surface bjotting the water into tanks by meansf an injec tion valve. It can be hanrd with the greatest ease and facility, rising itself at any depth and rising agi to tho sur face at the mere pleasure: caprice of those confined within its closure. Its success in this respect hajeen well es tablished during the pas six years in probably over a hundred scent3 with out the least accident. Of how the monster is mapulated, the correspondent gives the allowing ac count: It can bo made to rise ad sink again in mid-ocean, if noccssarjas safely and expeditiously as in the soother waters of a river. Thero is ncpluiiging, and the descent is said to he iperceptible to those inside, Accommoations are pro vided for ten men, but :orew of fifteen or even twenty persons 1® find ample room to move about dthout in any way interfering with coh other in the discharge of their du-- If the crew should neglect to keeper to her proper poise when under watt the boat null ra pidly rise to the surfa* again of its own volition- A hydrom<or placed in the cupola, directly und’ the eye of the pilot, registers the nrther of feet she is under water from alve.

Tho’tor- pedo boom is ru iu and outboard by a very simple piec*of mechanism, exclud ing all water frci coming into tho boat. The hull of a® of these boats will weigh about fit ton tons, and is made of wrought and ert iron. Tho boat can bo propelled ten Dots an hour at a depth of twelve or fift® foot. The frame is her metically seotd, cemented, and double riv eted togetliG while the tubes are fastened at each secon by means of clamps. This arrangemet of hull, togother with tho hollow top* throughout her frame, makes he,ut all times a perfect self acting lifeboat, either on the surface of the wateror fifty fathoms under, in any kind of wather or boisterous sea. Three eet Jaelow the hull i3 a movable plat fora for a diver to work upon while adjustiif torpedoes for blowing up liar- bar obAuotions. SOMES OF ENOBMOUS SIZE, too lag® to take on board, can readily bo lashed to this platform to be used for any pecial purpose required. After they have been once securely lodged in posi- tionigainst or under the scarp wall of a fort, the diver, clad in his helmet and arjor, attaches a telegraph wire to them an/ returns to the inside of tho boat a-Ain through the well-hole in tho bot- tin. The boat then backs off to a safe distance, the diver meanwhile unreels the iber end of the wire from a spool which k fastened to his armor in front of his jreastplate and attaches it to a. steel magnet battery, which is located in the pilot cnpola. When the boat has gained sufficient stemway to be beyond the reach of any falling missiles from the fort, it becomes the pilot or commander’s duty to send the spark from this battery npon its mission of destruction. The platform is only intended to be used for harbor and river service, and will not be carried by sea-going torpedo boats STONE F0BTBESSE3 DOOMED. Now, when it is taken into considera tion that every cubic foot of water acts as a fulcrum on these torpedoes like so much solid iron, some idea of the im mense force and power of their explosion under the surface may be imagined. No stone fortress whose cover front could be reached from the water could withstand the shock of an explosion of a monster torpedo of this description, charged with dualine, fulminate of mercury, nitro-gly- cerine, or even when filled with ordinary gunpowder. It is quite probable that the very first torpedo of proportionate size would send it toppling to the bot tom, a mass of rains. Five or six of these submarine boots acting in concert, there is no good or valid reason to doubt could, if occasion required, start an earthquake under that venerable pile, the Rock of Gibralter, while the destruction of an iron-oiad fleet, drawn up in battle array, would be the work of only a few mo ments, eras fast as one vessel after an- inuueuieui. uu txits aiucaij u*. iut,-3=. i , ’ ,, , , , 3 , , . ., We hope the Press Association next week I other could be reached and struck by the will petition the Legislature to pass a I mystenons htrie water sprite so carefully law tl.at a man announced dead by the hidden .: were congregated in the vicinity of tho toll-gate, on Thunderboltroad, eloquently discussing tho game law. Pierce Glenn had a double-barrel shot-gun, one barrel of which ho had just loaded, and was in the act of putting tho charge in the oth er, when Tom, who, it would seem, is an eccentric kind of a cuss, remarked to Fierce that he would bet ho could shoot him (Pierce) in the hand from tho loaded barrel whilst ho (Pierce) was charging tho other. Pierce being a brave rooster, promptly accept** 1 the bet, and contin ued to ram in the charge, whilst Tom stooped down and pulled tho trigger of the loaded barrel. There was a report, an Ethiopean war whoop, the gun flew in one direction and Fierce was seen spin ning around on one leg, waving a gory hand. On examination it was discovered that the charge had struck tho dusky fool, plump in the right hand, tearing away two fingers and mangling the mem ber in a horrible manner. Tile German paper published at Sa vannah says a number of German immi grants passed through that city, on their way to Screven county, last week. Mr. L. F. Ploiffer, who owns a largo tract of land in that neighborhood, persuaded his brother-in-law, Mr. George N. Friese, to sell out his estate near Aschaffenhurg, Bavaria, in order to meet him in Georgia. Besides the family, consisting of six hearty, promising children, a number of young men have joined the party. John Killen, negro, was hung at Hawkinsville last Friday for murder. He confessed to two murders before he was executed. The Hawkinsville Dispatch says on Monday night, tho house of Mr. Samuel ■Walker, in Irwin county, near Irwinsville, was entered and robbed by some thief or thieves, of two trunks containing $390 in specie. $100 in currency, notes amounting to $155, and all the fine clothing and Georgia have : been announced dead, and the newspa- DAY DISPATCHES.

Washington, December G.—It has transpired that tho proposition for a change of tho protocol delivering the Virginias to a neutral power did not come through Spain to our Government, but was merely an unofficial suggestion from Cuban officials to Admiral Polo, a3 a measure in tho interest of quiet on the island. This statement is made upon tho highest authority, and our Government takes no notice of the indirect suggestion, as they only treat with Spain. They have no diplomatic relations with Cuba beyond consular regulations.

VVIUIs A. Jones. / In the pride of his manhood, iu the bloom and vigor of liis strength, while yet his “eye was not dimmed, nor hi> natural force abated.” tho Hon. Willis A. Jones has been called from this tran sitory life to “ the scene of awful and inconceiva ble majesty tliat lies beyond*the vale of vision.” When the *ood. the true, the noble, the generous and the loving die, the words and thoughts oT the mind give but a tame and feeble expression to the feelings of the heart. The lips that move not, the eye that is lustreless and dim, the cheeks that are faded and wan. and the form majestic and com manding that lies pulselecs and still before us, are char 1 idled and embalmed in affections too sa cred to be sketched by pen or pencil. It is with these feelings that the writer assumes the solemn and melancholy duty of paying a tri bute to the memory of the deceased. Willis A. Jones, the third child of Mr. John Jones was born near Greenville, in Meriwether county. Georgia, August 17, 1SS0. His sprightly mind, positive character, affable disposition, and great energy ami resolution, gave him promi nence and influence in childhood, which “grew with his growth” nnd rendered his liio eminently useful in after years. At home ha was the ac knowledged ami unenvied favorite of the circle- no other brother or sister competed with him ir the affection of his brothers and sisters—no othci child occupied or deemed himself deserving to oc cupy so high a place in tho love and confidence o! his parents. Tho deceased completed his oducation at Brnwnwood Institute (then under tho sujxjrv ion of the Rev. Otis Smith) in tho year ISIS. ] soon after married, and in 1S56 moved to L county and on gaged pi farming, which has bttn liis occupation ever since, and hut few havo sui coedou as well, or been guided by so tin)rough knowledge of tfcobusiness.orby so sound and pra t ical an application of that knowledge. l(o has held numerous positions of tmst, honor and responsi bility in tho county, and in 1861 and 1862 ho rep resented tho county with distinction in tho Leg islature. As a legislator, ho was always prompt to roll-call, fully alive to tho interests of his constit uents, and active in the discharge of every duty; his official conduct in this position gave entire satisfaction, and he was not re-elected only be came ho refused to be a candidate. Since tho war he has been living a quiet and re tired life, devoting his attention to his private in terest, his church duties, and to deeds of useful ness and acts of kindness. While engaged in tho interest of his county as a grand juror at tho No vember Term, 1873, of tho Superior Court, he con tracted a cold, which was increased by two nights of slocpless watching around the sick bod of a dy ing friend, and resulted in a congestive chill, which terminated fatally at 6$ o’clock p. m. Thursday, November 27,1S78. There was so much in tho life of .fudge Jones to call forth feelings of love, to rivet attention and attract admiration; ho so nearly filled |tlio meas ure of a perfect man, that I am at a loss, whether in this brief sketch to give moro prominence to his character as an isolated man, or as a member of society, as a Christian, or as the head of a fam ily. As a man, he was brave and yet forbearing, just and yet generous, Scrupulously honest in his deal ings, and prompt in tho discharge of every duty. As a member of society, he was indeed a model man. Such was tho confidence of his fellow citi zens in his sound judgment, his practical business qualities, and his honesty and integrity, that few arbitrations were proposed and few controversies adjusted without recourso to law, in which IkjIIi imrtles were not willing to trust implicity tho in vestigation and decision of Judge Jones unaided and aionc. To tho sick he ministered with tho -kindest and lendercst sympathy. Ho relieved tho nocissities of tho noody, consoled the bereaved andafllicted, admonished and advised the young and unwary, and minglod ever with tho gloomy shacows of this fleeting lifo tho warmth and sun- shin* of his genial nature.. ^ Bu$ who Hint has knpwn him around the do- most c hearthstone can realize that a magnet so ftttnutive, that a charm so jiotentlas his prcsonco is no longer there ? Never, not in a single in stance, has he passed tho throslihold returning homo without bringing kind words and cheerful smiles to his family. Tho doors of liis hospitable, happy home were closed against tho troubles and CSSIRABLE MILL PROPERTY!
